Anybody got a web host they’re especially fond of? Mine’s just irritated me for the last time, after I sent them a huge flipping list of spammer IPs and was told “Gosh, you can block these yourself, there’s not much we can do about them since spammers are a dime a dozen.”

Dreamhost = good. Kevin's brother works for their CS department and their newsletters are hilarious, if you're into that kind of thing. They're constantly improving their service and their tech support allows you to rate your own knowledge level so they don't talk down to you if you don't ask them to.
